Billionaires with Benefits

54 54. Poor Lea

‘... you will help and support me?’

William’s words sounded very hypocritical in Lea’s ears. How could her ex-lover say that when he threw her at Dave and Clara and left her alone?

How could William possibly help and assist her when his back was no longer visible in the banquet hall? How could he possibly support her when he was discussing business with Mark?

Meanwhile, Dave felt he had no other choice. Maybe it’s time to talk this over with Lea and Clara. They had to decide quickly because there would be no point in keeping this kind of secret either.

“Lea, Clara, we’re leaving. I have something important to tell you,” Dave finally said. He looked at Lea and Clara in turn, bearing a heavy burden on his heart. It was almost impossible. He wanted so badly to ask Lea to abort the baby. However, would Lea be willing to do that? Wouldn’t he regret it in the future?

Clara, who didn’t know anything, of course, agreed to Dave’s request. “Come on! Let’s get out of here! This place is so boring.”

However, Lea did not want this. She didn’t want this situation to happen at all.

“Ah, Dave, Clara, I just remembered that I have an appointment. I have to go now. It’s Friday night. You can spend your precious time together. I-I don’t want to be a third wheel. We can talk some other time!” Lea said, looking very nervous.

Lea didn’t wait any longer. She immediately left Dave and Clara, out of the venue. Unfortunately, someone stepped on the lace material of her long dress. Her dress was torn, leaving only a short skirt above the knee, exposing Lea’s smooth and flawless thighs. Lea almost fell, her stilettos slipped from her feet.

.....

“Ah, sorry! I didn’t mean to. You’d better be careful when you walk,” said the young woman who stepped on the lace of Lea’s skirt.

“Eh, you’re Lea, aren’t you? I was in your class at The Elite Highschool. You entered our high school through a scholarship, right?” asked another young woman, greeted with laughter from her friends.

“Of course. She is not one of us,” the other added, chuckling.

All eyes turned to Lea, making her feel so embarrassed that her face turned beet red. Unable to take it anymore, she then ran barefoot, leaving her gray stilettos lying on the ballroom floor. She didn’t care anymore about what they said.

Lea realized that she was not a woman from the upper class. She realized who she was. Anything she did would only embarrass her.

She ran out of the ballroom into the lobby. Where would she be tonight? It was impossible to return to William’s parents’ house.

She then headed for the taxi stop. Just as she was about to get into the cab, a strong hand grabbed her, preventing her to go.

“Lea, let’s talk!” Dave said, gasping for air as he chased after Lea.

“No, Dave! There’s nothing more to talk about,” Lea chimed in with sobs.

“Leah, please! Give me some time,” Dave begged desperately. “Please.”

Suddenly, Dave knelt and put on Lea’s shoes that had been taken off. Her feelings were messed up. Her heart clenched. How could Dave treat her so gently like this?

Finally, Lea relented. She didn’t take a taxi. She followed Dave’s request to go back to the lobby. She hoped it would all be over as soon as possible so that the burden would be lessened-if that was possible.

The autumn wind at night is quite chilly. Lea did not have time to take the coat that had been left at the venue. Dave was quite understanding. He took off his coat and offered it to Lea so that her exposed shoulders wouldn’t be frozen by the cold night.

“Put it on! You’re pregnant,” Dave said as he handed her his coat.

“Pregnancy is not a disease,” Lea replied, reluctant to accept.

“Why are you so difficult? Just use it,” Dave commented in annoyance. He then forced Lea to stop walking and put on his coat to cover Lea’s sweaty white shoulders.

Dave gulped, Lea’s shoulders and cleavage reminded him of the passionate night they spent together. He still remembered how heartbroken Lea was at that time and asked Dave to make love to her out of revenge.

That night, both of them were quite drunk. A strong sexual desire can not be restrained. Lea was a cute and fragile woman. In contrast to Clara. Just seeing Lea’s figure made Dave want to protect her and grant her everything she asked for. For that reason, Dave was willing to have sex with her.

Who would have thought that Lea was a virgin? Who would have thought that she had to get pregnant because of what they did that night?

The two of them then walked past the hotel lobby and entered the lounge. Hardly to see anyone there. It was quiet.

Dave chose one of the tables and pulled out a chair for Lea. She obediently sat down and looked down. Still didn’t want to look at him.

“So William is the man who betrayed you and married Paula?” Dave asked, opening the conversation.

Lea just nodded. “But that’s none of your business.”

“I know,” said Dave. He gulped, then continued, “William told me that you were pregnant with my child. Is-”

“Is that true?” Lea interrupted Dave nodding.

Lea smirked, feeling humiliated. She only had sex with a man once and immediately got pregnant. However, it turned out that the man did not believe that the child in her womb was his.

“No, it’s a lie! William is making the story up,” Lea replied sarcastically. She looked at anything but Dave.

“Lea!” Dave, who knew Lea’s habits, realized that she was mad at him. “It’s not that I don’t believe it. However, I just wanted to confirm.”

“What is the difference?” Lea snapped.

“Sorry,” Dave said awkwardly. There was a moment of silence. Neither of the two spoke. “You know, I have Clara. We’re getting married-”

“I know, Dave. That’s why I don’t want to say anything to you! I don’t want to ruin your happiness with Clara,” Lea was furious. “I hate Paula who took William from me. How could I have the heart to do a similar thing to Clara?”

Lea glared at Dave with a look of anger and despair. Meanwhile, he could only stare at her in confusion. Was Lea really that kind? Should their affair be kept a secret from Clara?

Unfortunately, it can no longer be done because now Clara was around. She walked closer to them and said, “What is this? Why did you have to ruin my happiness with Dave?”
